How position sizing works
Position sizing converts your risk tolerance into a concrete share count. By dividing your maximum dollar risk (account × risk %) by the distance from entry to stop-loss, you get exactly how many shares to buy so a full stop-out never exceeds your planned limit. A risk/reward ratio of at least 1:2 ensures your winners consistently outpace your losers — the foundation of any sustainable swing trading edge.
